SOLD: Oliver Sayes Yamamoto A08S Clone W/Upgrades REDUCED

StevenZ · « **on:** 5 Sep 2020, 04:21 pm »

Selling my beautiful looking and Sounding Oliver Sayes Yamamoto A08S clone. This gorgeous amp was outfitted with a few upgrades over what Oliver typically puts in his amps. This amplifier uses Rod Coleman DHT Filament Regulators for clean DC filament heating, which means quieter operation than standard AC. It's also outfitted with a TOTL TKD stepped potentiometer for volume control which incorporates a metal shield between the channels for excellent separation. I am including a set of 4 sealed New Old Stock (NOS) Western Electric 717A driver tubes, two NOS 6BY5GA rectifier tubes (CBS Hytron & Tung Sol), and a pair of unmatched 45 output tubes (this is what was supplied with the amp). The amplifier chassis is made with very nice ironwood to match the excellent build quality of Oliver's amps. The output transformers are the fabulous sounding Sony/Tamradio as well as a big power transformer with copper shield.

I paid over $1200 and have only used it less than 50hrs. Due to unforeseen circumstances I need to sell and recoup some funds. I'm asking now $850 shipped CONUS only, PayPal Gift or Google Pay only.

Per Oliver.. ‘~0.7v input sensitivity and ~1.75 watts out into 8 ohms‘

A 45 SET with Coleman Filament Reg’s. Serious goodness here.
